Finally fixed that leaky pipe under my kitchen sink... took me 3 tries but it held all week
Last Sunday I woke up to water dripping from the cabinet again. That pipe joint under the sink had been seeping for months. I tried tightening it with a wrench last month but that just made it worse. Finally watched a video from a plumber in Cleveland who said to use Teflon tape on the threads then hand tighten. Three days later and not a single drop. Has anyone else had luck with that trick or do you just call a pro for these little jobs?

Finally fixed that leaky pipe" - congrats man, that Cleveland plumber knew what he was talking about. I tried the hand tighten trick on a faucet once and it saved me a service call fee.

Tried that hand tighten trick myself once and ended up with a waterfall in my kitchen. Guess my hands don't know their own strength, or lack thereof.
